In the Bleak Midwinter
lyrics by Christina Rossetti, 1872
music by Gustav Holst, 1906
In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan.
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone.
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
in the bleak midwinter, long long ago.
There are more verses, but they're overtly religious.
James Taylor sings it on YouTube
